To determine if 940 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 940.
If the factors of 940 are only 940 and 1, then we know that 940 is a prime number. Otherwise, 940 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 940 is only divisible by 1 and 940, then it is a prime number, and if 940 is divisible by more than 940 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 940 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
Therefore, since 940 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 940 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 941 prime or composite?
